The EZ Cracker

2025-02-01T15:38:17-05:00

Hey there, it’s Farmer Brad! Today, I’m excited to share my thoughts on a nifty gadget I recently tested in my kitchen: the EZ Cracker. If you’re looking for a simpler, mess-free way to crack eggs—especially if you have little helpers around—read on!

What Is the EZ Cracker?

The EZ Cracker is a handheld device designed to crack eggs cleanly and separate the yolk from the whites if desired. It even comes with an egg scrambler attachment to mix the egg inside the shell before cooking, so you can enjoy a uniform hard-boiled egg.

How It Works

Cutting Mechanism: Place your egg in the EZ Cracker, squeeze the handle, and a small blade gently cracks the shell.
Yolk Separator: A separate attachment allows you to separate the yolk from the egg whites quickly and efficiently.
Egg Scrambler: A separate device comes lets you scramble the egg inside its shell for a fully yellow hard-boiled egg.

My Experience

First Egg: It cracked perfectly—no shells in the bowl!
Second Egg: A tiny piece of shell slipped in, but overall, it still did a good job.
Smaller Eggs: No issues, even with smaller sizes.

I especially love that my 4-year-old can get hands-on in the breakfast-making process. It’s a fun way to introduce kids to cooking without the usual mess.

Price & Where to Find It

I picked up the EZ Cracker for $3 at Menards, which I consider a steal for the convenience it offers. At the time of writing it is available on amazon for $9.99

Final Thoughts

If you want a hassle-free way to crack eggs and a kid-friendly gadget to spark culinary interest, I recommend giving the EZ Cracker a shot. It’s affordable, easy to use, and adds a bit of fun to your morning routine.

How to monitor audio with a Canon T6i

2020-02-25T23:32:00-05:00

I had been trying to wrap my head around how I might be able to monitor the audio going into my Canon T6i Camera. The camera only has a mic input and no headphone jack. I recently discovered the COMICA CVM-AX1 as the solution I needed. This camera audio mixer allows 2 channel input and a headphone jack to monitor the levels of the audio going into the camera.

It is powered by 2 AAA batteries. This really opens up some options for my youtube channel. I can connect a shotgun mic and a lavalier mic with one going to the Left Channel and the other going to the Right Channel. I would then select Stereo if I'd like to seperate when editing the videos. You could also plug in two shot gun mics and have them set to two different volumes, that way if the sound gets too loud then you have a backup plan to get audio that hasn't peaked yet.

Another benefit is that there are 3 cold shoe points on the audio mixer. This allowed me to mount a shotgun mic on the side and my LED light on the top.

I hope this article helped shed some light on the options you have for monitoring your canon camera especially the Canon T6i.

iUKUS Condenser Microphone Review

This microphone works great for Livestream or podcast type recordings. The feature that surprised me was that it came with a computer adapter where you can use the microphone and plug in headphones to prevent feedback from happening. Order yours today: http://bit.ly/33vSOBd

I got this CatGenie used for a great deal. We have one indoor cat and I thought this might be a great product to give a try. Works pretty well.
